What did you like about tonight's win?

[TFL]

For me i was really happy with the way we quickly moved the ball most of the night, makes a big difference from the shipping sideways and backwards we are used to.

We still made plenty of mistakes but hopefully we can only improve if we keep at it.

Jake King is a little star, made the one bad mistake but he had over 20 touches at about 96% effective. Have to love the way this guy goes about it.

Simmonds was very important in the middle and around the ground, gee we missed him last year.

Richo was Richo, nothings changed but you have to love him.

I thought the backline stuck together pretty well, got a little indecisive at times but its a fairly young back six when you take Bowden out.

I am sure there is more but ill have to sleep on it. Still plenty of work to do but you have to love beating Carlton especially with all the hype about Judd.

That we didn't just roll over when we were 4 goals down. In the first and second quarters we were able to wrestle back the momentum.

That we ran away with the game. Sealed the game in the first 10 minutes of the last quarter.

Kicking 17 goals and scoring over 100 points.

We played longer and more direct from halfway through the 2nd qaurter onwards. Got us back in the game and from then on we were pretty much in control of the match.

Won the clearances and the contested footy in the middle which allowed our superior bookends to Carlton to get the job done.

Sending off the Carltank supporters in front of us in the last qtr  f off

[{X}]

1/ we never gave up and folded, like we did in the past

2/ we shoved it up the scum

3/ it was a well balanced team effort

4/ we didnt play our best team (maybe our fittest on the night) but not our best

5/ terry coached very well

For me i would have to say the hardnest and balls the players showed to put their bodies on the line. Granted there were a couple of sidesteps but on the whole they showed they weren't going to take any crap, even Browny !

Also i must admit it did feel pretty damn good walking out of the ground looking down on all of those scummy Carlscum supporters like the filthy, insignificant parasites that they truly are.

[bushranger]

I love the fact that we didn't give up all match. And even when we were supposed to get free's and didn't while Carlton were getting ones that we wern't we still didn't give up. A great match. I was gunna record it and watch it again but forgot to so that's that real shame here. Love to be able to wath it over again.    And I loved the sheet there Tankers are Wankers on it.

I got it on video, now just have to work out how to transfer onto DVD and edit commercials.

Beating Carlton.

Foley starting where he left off last year.

Jake King.

Browny kicking 3 in what was a pretty average game by his standards.

Jacko taking Judd and doing a good job.

A bit of team spirit being shown.

Raines showing a bit of his 2006 form.

The ball moving into the corridor rather than wide all the time.

The speed and endurance of the team, looked much fitter than Carlton and ran the game out well.

Far far less of those unforgivable skill errors and turnovers so evident last year.

The look on Judd's face after the game.

The courage shown by the lads.

The 1%ers.

The tackling and pressure applied by us.

That light I spied at the end of the tunnel that I wasn't sure was there last year. Positivity is all about faith with the RFC.

Thinking about the kids in the Coburg side, who they are and what they are capable of. Put a big smile on my face.

There's still a huge way to go for us and it could all fall in a heap next week against North. But last night's game was better than any we saw from the team last year. Fingers crossed 2007 was an aberration.

We looked BIG, hard and tough.

Browny telling someone from Carlton to go forth and multiply after the win.

Nathan Brown telling the Carlton player after the siren to effoff  thats Priceless 
you beat me to it wayne

It might be round one and against Carlton but where are all you Wallace & McMahon knockers (wankers) now you bunch of losers I hope that you are not taking any high morals out of this game. You know who you are!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GO TIGES

[Ramps]

Lets be honest McMahon didnt exactly set the world on fire in the first half, hes second half was better. As for Wallace, hopefully the side continues to perform well over the next 10 weeks before the half way point, everyone just has to wait and see how it all pans out.

GO TIGES

WATiger grab a grip on yourself 
Wallace coached half a game & Tambling & McMahon played half a game  dont get too cocky that was ugly football last night & sometimes terrible when you see more being at the ground
Carlton came to play, there side was fitter than what they make out & it was a great win for Richmond & us supporters but we are far from improved
Richmond let there guard down in the first half & Carlton in defeat was always going to use the poor excuse there side was not 100%fit. But the only person out there with a niggle was Judd & he will never be the same player he was.  Thanks to Johnsons great bodyweight tackle on him that groin will be very sore today if not re-injured cause that tackle changed the game
l'm a Richmond supporter through & through  but 1 win wont make me go overboard there is a hell of alot of work to improve
There was too many good things to write that come out of the game.  l believe our players need to play a faster style game then previous years to bring in the faster type players which truely showed the case in the second half with Tambling, McMahon, Jackson, King, Brown, reading the game better & taking control. If the players continue on with that style they played in the 2nd half & the Terry Wallace coaches like that 2nd half we will win more matches which in tow will lift the players confidence & moral around the club & supporters will grow 

l rate the game 63% (100%) a satifying win & more for me cause it was over Carlton,  but they never won by 40pts  but l picked up on other bets  l backed Richmond to win the first 6 games of the season if they do it l be very satifyed

There was alot to like about a win against Carlton at the G in the first game of the season. I too are not getting carried away with that win.

If we played like we did in the first half against a good side we would be down by 10 goals at half time and would never get back. There was to many turnovers, missed takles, skill errors and a few poor efforts. The fact that this is still in the team worries me.

But hey, we won so I am not going to bag any single player for a bad half as its a 4 quarter TEAM game and the only thing that matters in the end is the 4 points.

More of the second half and less of the first half and we will have a good season   

[Hellenic Tiger]

Alot to like.

1. We did not roll over and submit meekly when we were 25 points down.

2. We used the ball well in the second half.

3. The low key approach , let the scum do all the talking and overhype their team. The higher you clinb the harder you fall.

4. A system that actually worked. Sure we were playing the worst team in the comp but it worked as well as the team being capable to carry it out.

5. Having to hear Carlton fans talking pre game how Judd is the missing link in their significant climb up the ladder and with Walker and Kreuzer to come in they would be close to premiership glory if not there in 2 years. The looks on their faces in the last quarter was priceless.

6. Furthermore to point 5 I may even think some of them are closet Richmond supporters actually observing some Richmond fan like behaviour like throwing memberships caps and 2008 member scarves over the top level of the Olympic Stand once we went 103-79 up in the last quarter.

7. Then after all that , they still felt they deserved to win as we got 6 goals from free kicks.

8. To actually win a game against Carlton on the MCG that actually meant something and made them worse off than us in the overall scheme of things not just for that season, since the 1973 Grand Final win over them.

9. By that time I was tanked happy and could not give a crap about anything such was my tumultuous joy over the win.

10. Cleaning up on the roulette tables at the casino may a great night even greater.

11. Waking up no hangover, Tigers top of the ladder    my wallet heavier and my wife still not mentioning the time I got home Priceless.
